Gail Griffin
Candidate for Arizona State Senate – District 19
Arizona · Legislative District 19
Statement
As always, JOBS and economic stability are top priorities for me. I believe in LIMITED GOVERNMENT, LOWER TAXES, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and the FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM. I'm working hard on issues related to EDUCATION EXCELLENCE, ensuring more taxpayer dollars make it to the classroom to help students and teachers improve academic achievement. I believe we have a duty and responsibility to SECURE OUR BORDERS, enforce our laws, and protect our citizens. We deserve elections that are trustworthy, transparent, and promptly counted and reported. And of course I'll never stop fighting to protect our Water Rights and to ensure our long-term water supply, secure our Property Rights, and champion our Veterans. I am PRO-BUSINESS, PRO-TAXPAYER, PRO-FAMILY and PRO-CONSTITUTION. I'm glad to be part of the Legislative District 19 team with David Gowan and Lupe Diaz because we work hard to ensure our district and southeastern Arizona has a strong voice at the State Capital. I will continue to "WORK for the PEOPLE!". Thank you for your continued support. I ask for your vote.
